Measurement postback URL | TrafficGuard Help Center

Introduction

In TrafficGuard, you can use URLs to track, measure and validate installs and events from Integrated partners and other traffic sources.

When an end-user installs the app or generates some other engagement, TrafficGuard measures and validates this activity via an integration with your Mobile Measurement Platform (MMP) or tracking platform. This is the primary method that this data is collected from your apps when using Measurement URL

TrafficGuard then uses the Integrated Partners postback URL to notify that attributed partner of any valid conversion in real-time.

Postback URLs

The measurement URLs are comprised of a number of parts, including the base URL, parameters, and values associated with those parameters:

Base URL

This is the domain for the postback which always includes the post subdomain. Both HTTP and HTTPS are supported.

https://post.trafficguard.ai?

Some parameters like property_id and partner_id are required, while others are optional.

Required parameters

organisation_id=demo_organisation // ID of the organisation in TrafficGuard platform.

&property_id=tg-000-0001 // Property ID (required if app_id is not available)

&app_id=com.appenture.puzzle // App package name or app id in the store (required if property_id is not available)

&token= // Client unique authentication token

event_name={event_name} // Event name 

event_time={event_time} //

user_agent= // User-Agent of the device collected on the click (unless )

user_ip= // IP address of the device collected on the click

We strongly encourage including all available parameters, for example unique device identifiers like the Android Advertising ID in your measurement URLs for increased accuracy:

aaid={android_advertising_id} // Android advertiser unique identifier

Note:

All major mobile measurement platforms have predefined postback URL templates so you can simply select that integration in the TrafficGuard portal.

Note:

Data that is received via the TrafficGuard measurement postback URL will be sent to the attributed source if they have support for it. TrafficGuard automatically maps data to source that have a Partner Integration.
